Centre Versus Surgeon Volume in Pancreatic Surgery
By Mario Annecchiarico, Giuseppe Loiaco, Claudia Cirillo and 7 others.
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Pancreatic resections have different technical demands and rescue requirements, yet centre and surgeon volume are often treated as interchangeable exposures. Their relative contributions are particularly relevant as robotic pancreatic surgery expands.
Methods
PubMed/MEDLINE was searched from inception to 24 August 2026 for systematic reviews, population-based and multilevel studies, failure-to-rescue analyses, consensus statements, learning-curve studies, and randomised or multicentre evidence concerning pancreatoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, total pancreatectomy, and robotic pancreatic surgery.
